Technical Details & Test Data

Irritation and Mildness Data

Skin Compatibility:

• BASF’s APG surfactants not only show very low irritation potentials under use conditions, they also cause less skin dryness and skin barrier damage than conventional surfactants.
• This further confirms the excellent suitability for skin rinse-off formulations, where mildness is key.

Soap Chamber Test: TEWL on Day 5

• The soap chamber test (SCT) is used to evaluate the cumulative irritation potential of surfactants. Parameters assessed also give a measure of possible surfactant- induced skin dryness and skin barrier damage (TEWL).
• Surfactants were repeatedly applied to the volar forearm under occlusion on 5 consecutive days and skin dryness was assessed on day 5; skin barrier damage on day 8.

Soap Chamber Test: Dryness on Day 8

Ocular Compatibility:

BASF’s APG surfactants show excellent ocular compatibility and qualify as the perfect choice for applications targeting sensitive areas, such as facial washes, make-up removal, baby cleansing, and intimate hygiene concepts.

Eye Irritation Potential: EpiOcular [ET-50 assay (neat protocol)]; 2% AS; pH 5.0:

In this study, the test samples were applied to the ocular tissue model. The viability of the cells over time is measured and used to calculate the time of exposure until viability is reduced to 50% [ET50].

Remark: ET50 values >60 are not further differentiated for classification purposes in this test method.

Sensorial and Thickening Data

Foamability:

Plantaren® 818 UP synergies in combination with BASF surfactants result in a high rate of foaming (mm/s), also known as foamability.

Test parameters:

• Amount of foam: Amount of foam after two pumps
• Foam cushion: Feel of the cushion, pillow, film between the fingers
• Bubble size: Pore/bubble size and spread
• Foam stability: Stability, how fast the bubbles burst
• Creaminess: Feel of creaminess between the fingers
• Foam body: Assessment of the sturdiness / plasticity of the foam
